Robotic cell · pilot places

The welding cell that needs neither a programmer nor a jig

A welding cobot automates the arc. But in a small batch, the arc is only a small part of the work: you still need a welder to read the drawing, place the parts, tack them and teach the program. Our cell takes over from the 3D file: it chooses the assembly order, positions the components, tacks them and welds them.

One full simulated cycle: the cobot places the parts, the robot tacks then welds them. Simulation footage, partly sped up.

What changes in your workshop

Designed for welding and fabrication shops of 5 to 50 people.

No more part-by-part programming.

The robot program is generated from the STEP file.

No more dedicated jigs.

A magnetic table and a second arm hold the part during tacking.

Small batches become profitable.

Changing part number means changing file.

Your welders focus on the rest.

Large structures, rework, complex parts.

  1. 01 STEP file The 3D assembly, as designed
  2. 02 Breakdown Components, thicknesses, joints
  3. 03 Planning Placement order, tacks, welds
  4. 04 3D vision Locating parts in bins
  5. 05 Two arms Assembly, tacking, welding

Base configuration

Standard industrial components, built around software that makes the difference.

The exact configuration (robot brands, welding power source, guarding) is finalised with the pilot workshops. It remains compatible with MIG/MAG power sources on the market.

Welding cobot or autonomous cell?

A conventional cobot automates the arc: an operator is still needed to place the parts, tack them and teach the path. The autonomous cell starts from the file and does the assembly too.

Both have their place. A cobot is a good choice for long runs of the same part; the cell targets workshops that handle many part numbers in small quantities.

Where we are

The cell is in design. Meanwhile, your parts are produced with a partner workshop.

We are looking for pilot workshops to test it on their real parts.

The planning software runs in simulation. The images on this page are simulations, presented as such: videos of the real cell will follow as soon as it is running.

Three ways to move forward with us

Join the waiting list See the simulation on your part Send us 3 typical STEP files from your workshop

The planning software already works: upload a part you weld often, we run the cell simulation on it and show you how it would assemble and weld it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a robot programmer in the workshop?
No. The program is generated from the STEP file. Your team prepares the component bins, starts production and inspects the parts: one day of training on your own parts is enough to get started.
How much floor space is needed?
The exact layout depends on the final configuration of the cell and its guarding. We define it with you when we visit your workshop, before any installation.
How much does the cell cost?
Rental and purchase prices will be provided on request at the end of the pilot phase. We do not publish figures we have not yet validated with workshops.
Will my welders lose their jobs?
The cell takes on the small repetitive parts your welders no longer have time for. They focus on large structures, rework and complex parts, where their skill matters most.
